Exchange Report: The Dutch in Alicante

Some weeks ago some young people came to our high school from Eindhoven as part of an Exchange. We had to interview them to find out about their opinions of Spain, and if it was like they were expecting. We choose a few of them, and now we are about to show you the international view of Spain:

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT SPAIN, WHAT IS THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND?

Daan, 16: Sun, beach….. And hot girls

Alexander, 16: Tapas , calamares, jamon serrano, and the beach….

Spijk, 15: Not studying loads….. HAHAHA

WAS SPAIN WHAT YOU EXPECTED?

-Stella, 18: Yeahh, and much better

-Bouwe, 17: I was expecting sun, that it would be hot, the beach and (looks at his girlfriend) girls…

-Sanne, 17: Spain was one of the greatest trips I have ever been on, I just had a good time with my friends, both old and new ones. The good thing is that I didn´ t just make friends, I got to know new magic places.

WHAT DID YOU LIKE THE MOST?

-Muriel, 18: I really enjoyed the dance class, even though it didn´t actually go the way we all wanted…

-Willem, 16: I LOVED the rowing class, I was the captain of my…. What was it called in spanish?…VELA!! Right? That on

WE SAW YOU BOTH GETTING INTO THE WATER AT THE BEACH,WHEN THE SUN WAS ALMOST DOWN COMPLETELY, HOW WAS THAT EXPERIENCE?

Jonathan, 16: YESSS, I will remember that for the rest of my life, it was VERY cold. I couldn´t feel my feet, I had to be wet for the rest of the day. The only thing I wanted after that, was to take a hot shower.

Thomas, 16: Jonathan has a tendency to exaggerate things. It was actually not that cold. I couldn´t leave Spain without having a bathe in the Mediterranean sea!
